Unable to install Norton360 Version 5.0

I already had a norton antivirus installed, but it expired so I bought a new one but it won't install. It won't even open to give me the option of installing, and when I open the computer devices, it doesn't show that the Norton disc is in. I have a Dell Inspiron 400

I'm requesting that your message be relocated into the 360 forum for better exposure

Hi,

 

You can use the Norton Removal tool for unistalling the product.

The link for the tool is :

I have personally dealt with a similiar problem in the past.  The solution:  run a good tool that cleans up the registry.   I actually ran a couple of tools, but in the end everything worked fine.

Since you are having troubles in installing using the CD , we always give an option to download the product from the internet.

 

Here we go with the complete steps to be performed.

 

1 ) Download the Norton 360 product using the links given below as per the version you have.CD label should ideally suggest if you have a standard or a premier .

 

Link for Norton 360 Standard : www.norton.com/n360s_5

 

Link for Norton 360 Premier : www.norton.com/n360p_5

 

2 ) Save these downloaded files into your desktop

3 ) Remove the expired norton product from add/remove programs which will ask you to restart the computer

4 ) Restart the computer

5 ) Start the installation using the set up file which was saved on to your desktop

6 ) Type in the product key you have when it asks for the same

7 ) Run the live update

 

Let me know the results after trying this out.

 

Cheers !
